So come, whether your faith is strong or weak, whether your hope shines brightly or is dimmed. Come, ready to receive; for all are welcome at this feast of love. Generous God whose story and song are now and always the hope of the world: We praise you for the stories of creation and incarnation, redemption and resolution, the unending words of love.

5 Please be seated. This bread is a sign of hope, it holds a story of dying and rising, of breaking and sharing, of nourishment and strengthening, of being more than enough. It is both the story of what it is in itself and the story of which it reminds us that, on the night before his death, Jesus took bread and broke it with friends. Take and eat, do this for the remembrance of me. This wine is a sign of hope, it holds a story of dying and rising, of pouring and sharing, of refreshment and renewal, of being more than enough. It is both the story of what it is in itself and the story of which it reminds us that, on the night before his death, Jesus took wine and poured it for friends. Drink this cup, poured out for you and for all. And we too are a sign of hope, for we too hold a story of death and rising, of old and new, 5

6 of offered life taken into the hands of God, who wastes nothing, and there becoming more than enough. It is both the story of who and what we each are and the greater story of which we are a part the ongoing story of God s reign and life on earth. And so, as we do in this place what Christ did in an upper room, send down your Holy Spirit on us, and on these gifts of bread and wine that the story of hope of death and rising of new life and the fruit of the kingdom may continue on in us, and through us. Amen. THE LORD S PRAYER As Christ has taught us, so we are bold to pray: Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done; on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen. We break this bread to share in the body of Christ. We who are many are one body, because we all share in one bread. The gifts of God for the people of God. 6

11 Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life 1. Where cross the crowded ways of life, where sound the cries of race and clan, above the noise of selfish strife, we hear your voice, O Son of Man. 2. In haunts of wretchedness and need, on shadowed thresholds fraught with fears, from paths where hide the lures of greed, we catch the vision of your tears. 3. From tender childhood's helplessness, from human grief and burdened toil, from famished souls, from sorrow's stress, your heart has never known recoil. 4. The cup of water given for you still holds the freshness of your grace; yet long these multitudes to view the sweet compassion of your face. 5. O Master, from the mountainside, make haste to heal these hearts of pain; among these restless throngs abide; O tread the city's streets again; 6. Till all the world shall learn your love, and follow where your feet have trod; till glorious from your heaven above shall come the city of our God.
